Press Club of India seeks withdrawal of FIR against journalist in Himachal Pradesh
The Press Club of India (PCI) on Sunday (August 3, 2025) urged Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu to intervene and withdraw a first information report (FIR) registered by the Shimla police against a journalist and a news portal. The Club criticised the police action against journalist Sanjeev Sharma and the news portal Samwad Bharat, terming it 'a clear attempt to intimidate and silence independent journalism'. The Press Club of India strongly condemns the FIR filed by Shimla Police against journalist Sanjeev Sharma and a news portal — "Samwad Bharat" for sharing a Facebook post on his social media platform. We urge the Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu to… — Press Club of India (@PCITweets) August 3, 2025 'The FIR alleges that the journalist spread misinformation and tarnished the image of the police. In reality, Sharma and Samwad Bharat merely reposted a Facebook message by the son of a road accident victim, who raised serious concerns about the police's delayed response despite multiple emergency calls,' the Club said, adding that the journalist's post highlighted valid concerns and demanded accountability. 'Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. Across the country, there is a growing trend of targeting journalists who raise critical questions. Intimidation, harassment, and legal action are increasingly being used to suppress press freedom. A journalist exercising their democratic right to question state authority must not be met with criminal charges. This FIR reflects a disturbing pattern irrespective of who is in power, which should not be the case,' it said, adding that such actions erode public trust and endanger the role of the press in a democratic country. 'We urge the Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, to personally look into the matter and order the withdrawal of the FIR immediately and uphold constitutional protections for freedom of speech and expression,' the Club said.

Uttarakhand: Chhattisgarh man held for cheating retired Subedar major of ₹34.17 lakh
Dehradun: A 35-year-old man from Chhattisgarh was arrested on Saturday for allegedly cheating a retired Subedar major of the Army Medical Corps of ₹34.17 lakh through a fake foreign investment scheme, Uttarakhand Police said. Har Vilas Nandi, a resident of Chhattisgarh's Durg district, is allegedly the mastermind of an international cybercrime gang, according to the cyber cell of Uttarakhand Police. (Sourced) Har Vilas Nandi, a resident of Chhattisgarh's Durg district, is allegedly the mastermind of an international cybercrime gang, according to the cyber cell of Uttarakhand Police. Police have seized foreign currency of the UAE, Oman, and the USA, along with an Aadhaar card, PAN card, ATM card, UAE resident card, and a mobile phone from him. 'Nandi lived in Dubai for 10 years. His Facebook and email IDs were created in Dubai, and the email ID linked to his bank account was being operated from the Philippines. The fraudulently obtained money was traced to his bank account and later withdrawn in Dubai,' senior superintendent of police (SSP) of the Special Task Force (STF) Navneet Singh Bhullar said. Also Read: Chhattisgarh: Two dupe BJP leader of ₹41.3 lakhs, case filed At least 37 cybercrime complaints from across the country were found registered against Nandi's bank account on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP) of the ministry of home affairs. 'In just one month, transactions totalling over ₹3.46 crore were observed in the accused's account. He also lured labourers in Chhattisgarh into selling their bank accounts for ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh, which he later used for fraudulent transactions,' SSP Bhullar said. Nandi, who was on the run for a long time, had been hiding in the Naxal-affected Dantewada region. After monitoring his movements using technical surveillance, Nandi was arrested from Chhattisgarh's Bhilai. He was brought to Dehradun on transit remand, the officer said. SSP Bhullar said that police began investigating after a retired Subedar Major of the Army Medical Corps lodged a complaint in 2024, stating that he was cheated of ₹34.17 lakh in the name of investment with a foreign investor company, Apollo India Private Equity (IV) (Mauritius) Ltd.

'A woman named Jasleen Kaur had posed as the group's trading assistant and a man posing as a customer service manager provided account details for payments. The complainant was convinced to fill a registration form and eventually invested a total of ₹34.17 lakh in multiple transactions. A mentor named John Peter Hussain also conducted trading sessions with him,' SSP Bhullar said. 'Relevant data regarding bank accounts, WhatsApp communications, and mobile numbers were obtained through correspondence with banks, service providers, and Meta. The data analysis revealed the name of the accused behind the fraud. His email ID was operating from the Philippines, while his social media accounts were Dubai-based. Money from the victim's account was traced to further layers and withdrawn in Dubai,' SSP Bhullar added. A First Information Report (FIR) was lodged, and a team led by Sub-Inspector Rajesh Dhyani began investigating.
